Book Reviews of The Story of the Trapp Family Singers

Book Review: A Wonderful True-Life Story!
Summary: 5 Stars

I purchased The Story of the Trapp Family Singers for a 12 year old granddaughter. She has every kind of electronic modern devise, she is getting a "classic" education (Latin, etc.), but doesn't read much. I was a non-reader through elementary school until a nun insisted I read the Trapp Family book. I found myself reading until 2 a.m., crying and laughing, and loving the book. The true-life story, family biography is inspiring and encouraging as well as explaining history from a personal family experience. What more can a grandmother do to encourage quality traits in every aspect of a child's life?

Summary of The Story of the Trapp Family Singers

With nearly 1,500 Broadway performances, six Tony Awards, more than three million albums sold, and five Academy Awards, The Sound of Music, based on the lives of Maria, the baron, and their singing children, is as familiar to most of us as our own family history. But much about the real-life woman and her family was left untold.

Here, Baroness Maria Augusta Trapp tells in her own beautiful, simple words the extraordinary story of her romance with the baron, their escape from Nazi-occupied Austria, and their life in America.

Now with photographs from the original edition.
